From: Charlotte, NC
E-mail: richsimcoe@earthlink.net 		My brother-in-law, Robert A. Button, was in the 517th . He passed away Dec 2, 2010. His discharged papers indicated he received the Silver Star and the Bronze Metal. The Bronze he received was for his actions in the operation at de Muy, France.
Does anyone remember him. If so, I would appreciate
hearing about it.

Name: Randy Posey
From: Jasper, Al
E-mail: rhposey@gmail.com 		My father was Hershel Posey. He was a medic attached to 2 BN Co.E and I believe Co. F. Sadly he passed away 9 Sept. 2010. He always spoke of attending to many of the wounded on the battlefield. He kept in touch with many of his comrades as long as he could but I have never had the honor of speaking to any of you directly. If any would like to contact me about him please do.

Name: Dannie Perry
From: rockville Indiana
E-mail: dannieperry@att.net 		My brother James and I had been told that our fathers records perished in the fire of 1973 and March 2010 we found a copy of our father's seperation record at the Indina State Library Archive where he signed for the post discharge bonus and the lifetime hunting and fishing license, Floyd Russell Perry is listed as being with the 517th Hq Co 2nd Bn when he was injured in combat Jan 7th and again on the 14th of 1945 in Belgium. We found him on the '44 Christmas Roster and he is on the document authorizing the Combat Infantryman Badge General Order #22 signed/ordered by Gen. Graves 14 Nov 1944. We are having his record reconstructed and the Army put the burden of proof that he parachuted on 15 Aug 1944 in Operation Varsity into Southern France for the Invasion Arrowhead on his EAME Theatre award that has the silver Star for 5 campaigns. Can anyone help proove that he was there. He died in the indy VA hospital of a staph infection i July 1961 when I was 3 and my brother was born a month later so we only had rumours to go on. In Italy he was at Naples Rome and North Africa with the 1178th Infantry MPs befor showing up on the documents for the 2nd Bn Hq Co 517th.

Name: Geoff Lewis
From: Bedford, MA
E-mail: glewis60@gmail.com 		Hi my name is Geoff Lewis, I am the grandson of Paul D. Lewis of hq company of 2nd battalion. I was going through some old boxes and found some memorabilia and photo's of my grandfather from this time period, so I decided to go on a hunt to find out what I could. This website has been a great find, and I hope to soon add what pictures I have found. For those of you who may have known her, My grandmother Elsa Lewis is now 91, and is doing well. I have recently enlisted in the USMC, and learning about my grandfathers wartime stories has been great. thanks alot and godspeed.

He didn't talk very much about those times, but since he has passed I've become intrested in some of the hardships that he and his commrades had to endure. If anyone has any information about my father, please share it with me, Thanks.

Name: Howard Gray
From: Savannah, GA
E-mail: howard_gray@bellsouth.net 		I have been trying to do some research on my wife's great-uncle Charles P.Ginn. From letters he wrote her mother (his niece) during the war he was originally in E co at Camp Toccoa, then in HQ, 2nd Bn. I know he was a medic and eventually transferred to the 82nd in 1945. If anyone has any more information on him I would appreciate hearing from you. Charles is deceased but I had several conversations with him about his airborne service since I was assigned to the 101st Abn for a time.
